I am a #SCM Forerunner!

As you may have already read, 2 big races have invited me to be part of their blogging team this year. The first of which, is the Scotiabank Calgary Marathon. I truly am so honored to be featured as an #SCMForerunner alongside some pretty fantastic runners.
RACE DETAILS
Distances:
Ultra Marathon, Marathon, Half Marathon, 10k, 5k, & Kids Marathon

Date:
June 1, 2014

Location:
Stampede Park, Calgary AB

Cost:
Registration for the Marathon & Half Marathon is $90 until May 26, 2014

I would have been honored to be chosen for this opportunity in any case, but there are some things about this year that will make it extremely special. It is the 50th anniversary of the Calgary Marathon! Did you know that the Calgary Marathon also happens to be Canada's oldest marathon? Pretty cool eh (haha)!

This race will also mark the completion of my quest for Marathon Maniac status (Bronze Level: 3 marathons in a 90-day time frame OR 2 marathons in a 16-day time frame)! Oh boy, I am going to be tired...

I'm joining a pretty amazing list of runners, check out their blogs for more info and to follow their training as well:





 





All of our profiles are up on the Calgary ForeRunners site including mine!

If you are not already registered for this exciting race, I hope you'll consider it, and if you are, I will see you there! Stay tuned for more posts on this event including some tips on traveling to a big race.

    Hey, keep up the good run! 14 days count down, good luck. Hey, do you use any running watches? I was looking through your blog and didn't see anything.

    This is the race David does every year. You should maybe do a pre-race dinner with him when your in town.
